Xbox Controller and $50 Gift Card Bundle Drops to $80 at Newegg
A wireless Xbox controller paired with a $50 digital gift card is available as a bundle for $80, effectively pricing the controller at half its usual cost.
The Verge
Newegg is offering a limited-time bundle pairing Microsoft's black wireless Xbox controller with a $50 digital Xbox gift card for $80 total. Since the controller alone typically retails between $50 and $60 depending on color, this deal effectively reduces the controller's price to just $30 while providing full-value digital currency.
Controller Features and Compatibility#
The included controller delivers solid performance across multiple platforms. It connects via Bluetooth to Xbox consoles, PCs, Steam Decks, and other gaming handhelds. The design emphasizes comfort and practicality—it includes a headphone jack, swappable AA batteries for extended play sessions, and a premium feel overall. While it lacks Hall effect sticks found on pricier models, it remains a strong mid-range option from Microsoft for everyday gaming needs.
Other Notable Tech Deals#
The bundle is part of a broader sale weekend. The Aurzen tri-fold mini projector has dropped from $299 to $249.99 at Best Buy (today only).

Streaming services work natively, though DRM-protected content requires Aurzen's separate CastPlay Pro dongle.
